DD’s own Celebrity Camera Hog

Just like our good buddy Art, Chef James Waters was once again in the limelight repping Diner Deluxe & schmoozing for the cameras on Global TV Calgary’s Morning Show, earlier today. Those who tuned in were treated to some advance footage of The Food Networks new series “You Gotta Eat Here!” currently filming in and around Calgary.

James was demonstrating how to flip an omelette without dropping it on the floor. He did it perfectly. Great success.

If you were of the unlucky few that missed it, Global Calgary has posted a link on their website here.

Roast Night Juggernaut

Another Roast Night, another sell out.
Tonight’s feature of AAA Alberta Prime Rib, Mashed Fingerling Potatoes, Roast Cauliflower & Seasonal Veg with Demi Glaze & Buttered Leeks was nothing short of outstanding.

True story.

What will next week bring? Another packed house I assume.

Thank you friends!

A great big THANK YOU to everyone that came out yesterday to help with the filming for Food Network’s new series You Gotta Eat Here!

Also a big thanks to Monique, Jim & all the crew at Lone Eagle Entertainment. You put in so many hours & effort to make the day a success.

Check out the series when it premieres on January 6th @ 7 pm MST on The Food Network. We will try and update you when the Calgary episodes go live (we expect sometime in spring).

“You Gotta Eat Here!” New Food Network Canada television show…

 

We are going to be featured on a new program for the Food Network titled “You Gotta Eat Here!”. Diner Deluxe is so happy to be among the other great spots in Calgary that will be getting some great exposure when they come to film in a couple of weeks.

It will be business as usual for the most part December 6 & 7, with hopefully minimal disruption. On Wednesday the 7th we will be taking reservations for those friends and regulars that wish to be a part of the filming process and have their own 15 minutes of fame.

Participants have to be available between 11 am and 2 pm for the duration of the shoot. Please contact us at info@dinerdeluxe.com if you would like to be considered for a table.

Thank you

Rockstar Winemaker Charles Smith!

An epic day at the diner yesterday when acclaimed winemaker, Charles Smith, and his wife and fellow winemaker Genevra stopped by for lunch with Jonathan and wife Cindy of Purple Valley Imports.

Vince and I thouroughly enjoyed the laughs and wine talk. Tasting notes, marital advice, and what it takes to produce perennial 100 pt wine. Royal City. We are looking forward to spending more time with all of them this evening at Charles’ Winemaker Dinner, and through the weekend at Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Fest.

Congrats on another great year in life and wine.
